Aslan is on the move…

Five miles of rails spiked into grass and asphalt doesn’t sound like a railroad until you see it…

Ex-Milwaukee Road SW1 is Ballard and Wantage’s sole power. 

Most of the time this is how we all know the B&W. Probably most people think it’s some kind of statue. As the rails hide in even the well manicured grass along Corwen Road it’s easy to think that. 

But “Aslan is on the move” and construction season will start warming up too. Planet Cement will start receiving strings of HMLX cement hoppers and this little engine will go on adventures.

I sent Chris this lightly edited photo of my recent creation, the Ballard and Wantage SW1 posed on Kinross. In return he sent me these words. Co-created for your benefit, tune in for more Hilton and Mears nonsense soon…
